Second year Day 147 - Thursday May 9, 2013

Today was a very exciting day for Bridgett.  She had an appointment to get her hair cut for the first time since the accident.  We got up and then the power went out for about an hour and a half--bummer!  I had to have her wash her hair at home because she definitely can't do the wash her hair in the little sink there thing.  So, power out meant no showers here because we are on a well.  Just in the nick of time the power came on and she was able to get a shower.  Sharon cut Bridgett's hair short for the first time ever when she was 16 and she donated her hair to lock of love (like 16 inches!!).  Her hair is so thick that Sharon had to put it into two pony tails!  Anyway, I took Bridgett's senior picture with me to remind Sharon.  She said that Bridgett's hair is almost long enough for that cut, but not quite.  So anyway, she did cut her hair---mostly just getting rid of any shaggy hair and giving her bangs.  Bridgett was just thrilled and so excited!!  She came home just glowing and saying how pretty she looked!  And it does look amazing!  She is looking more and more like herself all of the time (except for her eyes of course) and that's just so fun and exciting!  And, acting more and more like herself!
